Rob - thank you very much.

Your comment on the drop not always releasing storage is troubling but it is
what it is.

isfreset("all") will drop all SDSF special variables.  It won't drop any
column stems.

However, we are not sure if dropping a variable always releases the storage.
We have seen cases where REXX just marks the SVB available but the storage
is still allocated.

After using the SDSF REXX API and issuing the "rc = isfcalls('off')" is
there a way to release/free the storage that the various calls to the API
have allocated. I know I can do a "drop isfulog." But is there a general
way?

TIA
